Omidi Brothers Michael and Julian Omidi support the efforts of A Place Called Home. Omidi Brothers Julian and Michael Omidi formed the not-for-profit organization No More Poverty to aid those suffering from poverty around the world and at home and through A Place Called Home they can aid those living in South Central Los Angeles. 

South Central Los Angeles has unfortunately become synonymous with urban decay due to its depiction in films such as John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood and Menace II Society as well as picture painted by N.W.A.'s famous album Straight Outta Compton. As a result of the decline of manufacturing in the area beginning in the 1970's the area saw a precipitous decline into street gangs and street crime, poverty, drugs, and riots. 

But many good and hardworking people reside in South Central Los Angeles, people that struggle to keep their children out of gangs and in school with very few resources at their disposal to ensure that their children find opportunity and, most importantly, safety. 

A Place Called Home is an organization in South Central Los Angeles that aids underserved youth and families by providing a safe haven for support, inspiration, and opportunity so that these youth can take charge of the direction and quality of their lives. 

A Place Called Home provides:
  • Educational Services
  • Health, Nutrition, and Well-Being Services
  • Community and Volunteer Initiatives
  • Recreation and Athletics Programs
  • Programs for Creative Expression in Music, Dance, and Fine Arts
  • And More
The not-for-profit organization I founded with my brother Dr. Michael Omidi, is aimed at providing those caught up in the cycle of poverty to find solutions and A Place Called Home provides solutions for the impoverished in South Central Los Angeles. APCH is fighting to decrease the amount of violent and gang-related activities, increase the number of high school graduates in the area, and provide an increased awareness of health issues as a few of their many goals they look to achieve over the next 5 years.
